Brake light modulator/flasher in a bulb - dBuster_imp - 06-21-2014

With all the talk of tail light modifications modulation, has anyone actually looked in superbrightleds.com and the product in particular

1157 LED Bulb - Dual Intensity 1 x 3 Watt High Power LED w/ Brake Flasher

That is if the brake light bulb is a 1157 bulb.

But the CB1100 brake light is also the light for the license plate which by law must be white.

I think it was Webike World that tested many of these types of bulbs and wasn't very impressed with any of them.

Well doesn't that just stink. Now that puts a kabosh to any tail light modifications... Where at least just a bulb replacement is done.

If you have a different plate mount this is an option for you...

The only issues I saw on the webbike page was talking about the difference in wattages not being enough to make a noticeable difference between run light and brake light. If you go this route I would look at ensuring there was enough of a difference to show it.

If you have the stock tail light assembly as one pointed out earlier, these bulbs will not work and keep you legal with a white light on the license plate.

Now do you have a modification for your license plate light we don't know about? Maybe one of those RLET's shedding light on the plate?? Wink

I know on my Vulcan, I have a separate license plate light so it works like a charm.
